I have tested Scotty/tkined for some weaks now....
And so far I think Scotty/tkined is very good.
I am running Scotty 2.1.7 with linux 2.0.x/2.1.x (based on RedHat 4.0)
But I have some question which I hope to get a answer to from this
maillist.
1. SNMP trap sink (straps)
It seems to I can't get SNMP trap messages to popup in tkined.
I have both test to generate trap messages with snmptrap (on other linux
box) and also do send trap
messages from my ACC Congo router to the Linux box on which I have
scotty.
But don't get any trap messages form scotty/tkined.
And yes I know that the ACC router and snmptrap really send the trap
packet.
With sniffit (packet sniffer) I can see that the trap messages is sends
from the router/snmptrap to
my Scotty box.
I have also tested with snmptrapd (which can listen for snmp trap) and
it print out all trap messages
nice and fine.
But they can't scotty/tkined do it??
Then I had compiled scotty/tkined with multicast support I also got
error from straps about multicast and address already bind.
First I think that it was something wrong with linux kernel 2.1.7x and
multicast (I had sometrouble with getting gated working
with multicast and kernel 2.1.7x before so).... Downgradring to 2.1.3x
but still the same error messages.
Then I switchoff the multicast support from both kernel and
scotty/tkined then I didn't get any error messages from straps
but it still don't work.
I have also check if the snmp community is right and it is.
Someone who know how I can get scotty to show my the trap messages. I am
useing Linux 2.0.x/2.1.x.
Maybe even with multicast support should be fine...
And trapmessages is send to the scotty box (i have seen it with packet
sniffer tools like tcpdump/sniffit) and also
snmptrapd can get the snmp trap messages.
I don't know how to fix it please help me.
2. Can I do it easy with scotty/tkined???
2.1 Which computer use the most of the bandwith??
We have a lot (20-30st) of computer (workstations) on 10Mbps ethernet,
on the same LAN we have a linux box act as fileserver (samba) and router
to
outer part of our network.
What I like to do with Scotty/tkined is a why to show how much bandwith
each computer is useing of the 10Mbps line... Without running any kind
of snmp agent or other collector/agent toll on the workstations.
And even see per ip-addr how much bandwith is used for
www,http,smb,ftp,telnet,irc,quake etc.... etc... etc...
It is a high school I work at and we have problem with student who use
the net for play and so on.
It should be great to direct in scotty/tkined which computer use the
most of the bandwith on the diffrent lans and offcourse that type of
traffic it is.
A 10 -top list of the ip-addr wich use most bandwith should be good.
Can I do it easy with Scotty/tkined or have someone else done it
before??? I am not afraid of write some code by my shelf...
But I ask becuase If scotty/tkined is the right tool to do it with or
if it better to write and independ tool for it...????
2.2
I know about the group function to group object together in
tkined... But I don't think it is good enough for me.
I like to have a group stuff where you can just click on ex a computer
and then get more information and new X-window
about ex network bandwith use, load, proc idle, memore use, harddisk
use etc... after your own chocie...
Basic what I like is that you can group things so the object in the
group popup in a new windows and not in the same windows.
If you understand that I mean??
Btw for me it seems that tkined sometimes have trouble with scrolling
the workspace... Sometime I can't get to the bottow of the page and
the right part of the page. Some else who had that problem?
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks!
And appolgize for my very bad english!
Have a nice day!
